THE first of the New York heavyweights will take to the catwalks
today, namely Jason
Wu. Having been given Michelle Obama's endorsement once again
at Barack Obama's second presidential inauguration last month, the
US-based designer is officially one of the city's most exciting and
influential fashion names. Known for his ladylike wearable dresses
in colourful hues, Wu's latest collection will be one that press
and buyers will pore over with equal admiration.

But of course that's not all there is to look forward to today.
Also showing are Peter Som, Rebecca
Minkoff, Kate
Spade and Yigal
Azrouel. Cult US label Rag & Bone
will take the limelight this afternoon - a brand that counts Kate
Moss, Miranda Kerr and Cara Delevingne as fans - before Helmut Lang
tonight. Expect androgynous elegance, plenty of draping and
asymmetric hems in abundance.

Charlotte
Ronson and Suno
are up next, followed by Kate Spade's post-show party which
promises to get the fashion pack ready for the weekend ahead.
